The Picture of Dorian Gray (1945) feat. Amanda Jane Stern

We apologize for the intelligence of our remarks, but we're delving into every gay man's worst nightmare (aging) in Albert Lewin's The Picture of Dorian Gray (1945). Tagging in for the conversation is writer and filmmaker Amanda Jane Stern, who turns out to be an enormous fan of the source material! Join us as we go all in on this adaptation of Oscar Wilde's only novel, but not before discussing the tragedy that is Wilde's life. We then discuss Hollywood's "straightening" of this very queer story, and bask in the glory of what is Angela Lansbury's third film role. Plus, one very cruel Slut Test™, four stellar Technicolor shots (seriously), a presumably enormous confetti budget, Egyptian cat magic, one extremely unnecessary narrator and an even more unnecessary Gladys.
